“Citrix has decades of history in bringing innovation to the delivery of next generation workspaces,” said J. Tyler Rohrer, Liquidware Labs co-founder and Director of Alliances. “Since Liquidware Labs won the Citrix Solution of the Year award for ProfileUnity, we have rolled out this solution to hundreds of customers, working closely with leading Citrix Partners to ensure successful XenApp and XenDesktop projects. As these projects mature and scale, we’re also seeing more and more customers adopt Stratusphere UX to extend the visibility of EdgeSight monitoring to include detailed desktop user experience metrics across all Citrix platforms.”

ProfileUnity offers enterprise-class, scalable ‘hands-off’ migrations to on-board more users from legacy environments to virtual environments. ProfileUnity provisions settings and fully manages a user’s desktop profile, and can even manage a single application’s profile or the application itself. ProfileUnity can deliver users’ persona and applications simultaneously across multiple deployment methods and Windows operating systems. All of this is done per user, per application, per session and more with our advanced user and environmental level context-aware filters. ProfileUnity also provides these specific benefits to Citrix customers:

Automated on-boarding of more users to Citrix® XenApp, XenDesktop platforms

Adding more users, with different working habits (i.e., remote vs. in-office) or more complex desktop images (knowledge or power workers)

Validation of consumption and user experience before using XenApp and after

Ability to conduct agnostic bakeoffs between competing products to compare performance before deploying in production

For environments running Citrix XenApp or XenDesktop, Stratusphere UX provides a view into the virtualization and storage layers in addition to detailed user, machine and applications metrics. Inspectors make drill downs into application and other processes quick and straightforward. Stratusphere UX runs as a virtual appliance, is platform agnostic and provides an independent system for data metrics collection to complement Citrix EdgeSight. Stratusphere UX also provides sophisticated diagnostics for troubleshooting complex virtual desktop environments.
